`lutions suspensions ointments and solid dosage forms The
`the most part aqueous
`and suspensions are for
`white petrolatum
`ointments usually contain
`Ophthalmic
`mineral oil base
`can be grouped broadly into two
`Ophthalmic preparations
`divisions of major significance to the pharmacist These include
`single or multidose prescription products and the category de
`scribed as OTC or over-the-counter ophthalmic products
`The
`searching review and
`latter group has been subjected to
`part of the Food and Drug
`body of experts as
`analysis by
`Administrations FDA OTC Drug Review process
`The single dominant
`factor characteristic of all ophthalmic
`intended
`products is the specification of sterility Any product
`for use in the eye regardless of form substance or intent must
`be sterile This requirement increases the similarity between
`the physiology
`however
`and parenteral products
`ophthalmic
`eye in many respects imposes more rigid
`the human
`of
`formulation requirements This is considered in the following
`discussion
`
`II
`
`the treatment of eye disorders
`intended for
`Preparations
`can be traced to antiquity Egyptian papyri writings describe
`eye medications The Greeks and Romans expanded such uses
`and gave us the term eollyria Collyria refers collectively
`to
`materials that were dissolved in water milk or egg white for
`use as eyedrops In the Middle Ages collyria included mydriatic
`substances to dilate the pupils of miladys eyes for cosmetic
`lady
`purposes thus the term belladonna
`or beautiful
`From the time of belladonna collyria ophthalmic technology
`snails price well into modern
`pharmaceutical
`progressed at
`times It was not until after World War
`that the concept of
`for ophthalmic solutions Prior to
`became mandatory
`sterility
`World War
`II and continuing into the 1940s very few ophthal
`or were de
`mic preparations were available
`commercially
`The USP XIV official
`in 1950 included only
`scribed officially
`three were ointments
`three ophthalmic preparations and all
`Preparations to be used in the eye either solutions or oint
`inents invariably were compounded in the community or hos
`pital pharmacy and were intended for immediate prescription
`use Such preparation and prompt use is reflected in the phar
`literature of the times The stability of ophthalmic
`maceutical
`few months
`preparations is discussed in terms of days or
`One of the most important at tributes of ophthalmic products
`sur
`is the requirement of sterility Even that however
`The USI XV in 1955 was
`the first
`event
`prisingly recent
`official compendium to include
`requirement for oph
`sterility
`hiolni solutions The FDA in 1953 adopted the position that
`solution was adulterated Sterile oph
`nonsterile ophthalmic
`tlcalinic products were of course available prior to the mid
`date only
`1950s hosve or the legal
`requirement of sterility
`from 1955
`
`is

`li 43
`
`The sterility
`ointments
`for ophthalmic
`requirements
`ap
`in the USP XVIII Third Supplement 1972 Prior
`peared first
`to that date there was no legal requirement for
`sterile oph
`thalmic ointment This probably was due to the difficulty at
`that time of testing for sterility
`in such nonaqueous systems
`and also the anticipated difficulties in sterilizing and maintain
`and filling of
`ing sterile conditions during the manufacture
`ointments on
`large scale
`
`ANATOMY AND PHYStOLOGY OF THE EYE
`
`The human eye is
`for topical administra
`challenging subject
`tion of drugs The basis of this can be found in the anatomical
`arrangement of the surface tissues and in the permeability of
`the cornea The protective operation of the eyelids and lacrimal
`system is such that there is rapid removal of material
`instilled
`in volume
`is suitably small
`into the eye unless the material
`and chemically
`and physiologically
`compatible with surface
`tissues Figures 4311 and 4321 include pertinent anatomy of
`the human eye
`EYELIDS--The
`two purposes mechanical
`eyelids serve
`protection of the globe and creation of an optimum milieu for
`the cornea The eyelids are lubricated and kept
`by
`fluid-filled
`secretions of the lacrimal glands and specialized cells residing
`The antechamber has the shape of
`in the bulbar conjunctiva
`narrow cleft directly over
`the front of the eyeball with pocket-
`like extensions upward and downward The pockets are called
`the superior and inferior fornices vaults and the entire space
`the cul-de-sac The elliptical
`opening between the eyelids is
`fissure
`called the palpebral
`EYEBALLThe wall of the human eyeball bulbus globe
`is composed of three concentric layers
`The outer
`
`fibrous layer
`the uvea or uveal tract consisting of the
`middle vascular
`layer
`choroid the ciliary body and the iris
`the retina
`nervous layer
`
`The outer layer is tough pliable but only slightly stretchable
`In its front portionthe portion facing the outside worldthe
`layer is so regular and the water
`fine structure of the outer
`content so carefully adjusted that it acts as
`clear transparent
`is devoid of blood vessels Over
`the
`window the cornea It

`remaining two-thirds the fibrous coat

`The resistance encoun
`intricate system of outflow channels
`tered during this passage and the rate of aqueous production
`are the principal
`factors determining the level of the intraocu
`lar pressure In addition to this hydromechanical
`function the
`aqueous humor acts as
`carrier of nutrients substrates and
`for the avascular
`tissues of the eye
`inetabolites
`The
`bones
`the skull
`join to form an approximately
`pyramid-shaped housing for the eyeball called the orbit
`CONJUNCTIVA
`The conjunctival membrane covers the
`outer surface of the white portien of the eye and the inner
`aspect of the eyelids In most places it
`is attached loosely and
`thus permits free movement of the eyeball This makes possible
`cuconjunctivd iiij
`tiu1 Except
`the oi nea the conjune
`tiva is the most exposed portion of the eye
`JACRIMAL SYSTEM The conjunctival
`and corneal sur
`faces are covered
`and lubricated by
`film of fluid secreted by
`the conjunctival and Iacriinal glands The secretion of the lac
`rimal gland the tears is delivered through
`number of fine
`lucts into the conjunctival
`fornix The secretion is
`clear
`watery fluid containing numerous salts glucose other organic
`
`of
`
`foi
`
`compounds approximately O.7i protein and the enzyme ly
`sozyrne Small accessory
`lacrimal glands are situated in the
`rglir
`fornices
`conjunctival
`secretion suffices for
`lubrication
`and cleansing under ordinary conditions and for maintaining
`thin fluid film covering the cornea and coujunctiva the precor
`neal film The mucin-protein
`layer of the film is especially
`in maintaining the stability of the film The main
`important
`lacrimal gland is called into play only on special occasions The
`sebaceous glands of the eyelids secrete an oily fluid that helps
`to prevent overflowing of tears at the lid margin and reduces
`evaporation from the exposed surfaces of the eye by spreading
`over
`the tear film
`Spontaneous blinking replemshes the fluid film by pushing
`thin layer of fluid ahead of the lid margins as they come
`together The excess fluid is directed into the hacrimal
`lake-
`-a
`small triangular area lying in the angle bound by the inner
`most portions of the lids The skin of the eyelids is the thinnest
`in the body and folds easily thus permitting rapid opening and
`fissures The movement of the eyelids
`closing of the palpebral
`includes
`narrowing of the palpebral
`fissures in
`zipper-like
`action from the lateral canthus toward the medial canthus
`canthi
`the corners where the eyelids meet This aids the
`transport or movement of fluid toward the lacrimal
`lake
`Tears are drained from the lacrimal
`lake by two small
`tubes the lacrimal canaliculiwhich
`lead into the upper part
`of the nasolacrimal duct the roomy beginning of which is called
`the lacrimal sac The drainage of tears into the nose does not
`depend merely on gravity Fluid enters and passes along the
`lacrimal cnnaliculi by capillary attraction aided by aspiration
`caused by contraction of muscle embedded in the eyelids When
`the lids close as in blinking contraction of the muscle causes
`dilatation of the upper part of the lacrimal sac and compression
`of its lower portion Tears are thus aspirated into the sac and
`any that have collected
`in its lower part are forced down the
`nasolacrimal duct toward its opening into the nose As the lids
`open the muscle relaxes The upper part of
`the sac then
`collapses and forces fluid into the lower part which at the same
`time is released from compression Thus the act of blinking
`suction force-pump action in removing tears from
`exerts
`lake and emptying them into the nasal cavity

`Lacrimation is induced reflexly by otimulatioii of nerve endings
`The reflex is abolished by anes

`thetization of the surface of the eye and by disordei
`affecting
`its nerve components
`organ
`The normal cul dc-sac usually is free of pathogenic
`isms and often found sterile The sterility may be due partly to
`the action of lysozyme in the tears which normally destroys
`saprophytic organisms but has little action against pathogens
`that the
`More effective in producing sterility may be the fact
`secretions which are normally sterile as they leave the glands
`constantly wash the bacteria dust etc down in the nose In
`the lacrimal gland like other glandular struc
`certain diseases
`tures in the body undergoes involution with the result that
`the lacrimal fluid becomes scanty Furthermore changes in the
`glands may lead to alteration in the character of
`conjunctival
`the secretion so that quality as well as quantity of tears may be
`abnormal This may lead to symptoms of dryness burning and
`general discomfort and may interfere with visual acuity
`PRECORNEAL FILMThe cornea must be wet
`to be an
`surface when dry it
`loses both its regular

`gloss and its transparency The precorneal film part of the tear

`Many ophthalmic drugs are weak bases and are applied to
`solutions of their salts The free base and
`the eye as aqueous
`the salt will be in an equilibrium that will depend on the pH
`and the individual characteristics of the drug molecule To aid
`in maintaining storage stability and solubihity time medication

`The authors discuss the implications of the mechanisms of
`precorneal drug loss in the design of ocular drug-delivery sys
`tems including the effect of instilled drug volume on aqueous
`humor concentration
`and the amount of drug available for
`systemic absorption On an absolute basis
`smaller volume
`allows more drug to be absorbed For
`given instilled concen
`tration the opposite is true however
`smaller volume instilled
`remains more efficient
`ie the fraction of dose absorbed is
`the transcorneal
`greater Lang6 discusses
`route of absorption of
`drug into the eye as the route most effective in bringing
`given drug to the anterior portion of the eye This route of
`absorption is enhanced
`by the water-lipid gradient
`found in the
`cornea As previously mentioned the cornea is composed
`of
`three general
`layers the lipid-rich epithelium the lipid-poor
`stroma and the lipid-rich endothelium Differential studies on
`the relative lipid contents of these three layers have shown that
`the corneal epithelium and the corneal endothelium both con
`tain approximately 100 times as much lipid as the corneal
`stroma This coupled with the physiological pH of 72
`0.2
`and its effect on ionizable drug molecules plays the most sig
`nificant role in corneal penetration
`ointments generally produce greater bioavail
